Where are your thoughts today? Autumn always turns mine introspectively, to how past actions will affect the future. Will the seeds which matured this year bring forth new plants next year, and will they be the same color, or will they mutate into something I never dreamed of, but am delighted to witness? Enjoying the beautiful fall breeze today, hearing the tall grasses whisper, watching the last few butterflies flit around through the few remaining flowers, breathing deeply, loving living — it all feels magnified, as though something inside has loosened up in the last week. I applaud everyone who has maintained a joyous attitude for the last ten years! It has not been easy, but everyone had a role in this shift which has been happening in the last few decades. There have always been times when we feel we are in the Age of Enlightenment, most of us have been seeing signs that a change is coming, and now it feels certain. A clean, clear, new thought process is happening, and each and every one of us is needed to facilitate this cleansing. Breathing deeply, meditating, laughing, loving — all the good you’ve been hesitant to verbalize — just do it!
“If a light is suddenly turned on while someone is dreaming a fearful dream, he may initially interpret the light itself as part of his dream and be afraid of it. However, when he awakens, the light is correctly perceived as the release from the dream, which is then no longer accorded reality. This release does not depend on illusions. The knowledge that illuminates not only sets you free, but also shows you clearly that you are free.”
—A Course in Miracles T-2.I.4:6-9
“Befogged in error (the error of believing that matter can be intelligent for good or evil), we can catch clear glimpses of God only as the mists disperse, or as they melt into such thinness that we perceive the divine image in some word or deed which indicates the true idea, — the supremacy and reality of good, the nothingness and unreality of evil.
—Mary Baker Eddy - Science & Health Page 205:15-28
